A few weeks ago we managed to ride our new push bikes about half a km to the local park which I thought was a good first tryout after Heather's knee replacement and previous broken leg. So that was fine and maybe a few more little rides like that to strengthen her knee before we attempt anything longer.

During this first ride I had minor trouble getting some of the gears and while at the park I had a quick look. So it needs some adjustment to get it right and the LH pedal wasn't tight and almost fell off so we had to walk back home..........the bikes haven't left the shed since.

I have a short early morning aerobic workout that I have followed religiously for many years.
As soon as I awake, its up....down....up....down....up....down.... yep, its working, I can feel the burn.

... thats enough for that eyelid, lets try the other one.

I often think about exercise. Then I go and lie down until the thought passes by.

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #106 on:** December 28, 2014, 08:49:57 AM »

A doctor told me twelve months ago, to ease myself into an exercise plan gradually.

So far I have bought myself some runners and a pair of trakky daks.

Maybe next year I will buy an i-Pod and some wristbands.

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #107 on:** September 29, 2015, 09:38:44 PM »

Today I rode past a gym?

... is that gradual enough?

Weighed myself laST night .......I've dropped to 87kgs........Caroline's firST thought was I'm losing muscle mass

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #114 on:** April 29, 2016, 06:42:51 PM »

Slowly getting my weight down, I have dropped from 123 kilos in August 2014, to 102 Kilos today. My target is 90, Hopefully.

Have achieved this by only eating one moderate meal per day, (meat and veges) and some small snacks of Crackers and cheese. Maybe ten crackers or so per day.
I also have small portions of home made yoghurt, about a kilo per week. I am a heavy milk drinker, at 3 litres per day.
Occasionally I have an egg on toast, maybe once or twice per week. Also enjoy fresh fruit, ... a banana, or a kiwi fruit, peaches, plums and apricots when in season.

Doc wants me down to 90 kilos before surgery for some minor problems I have.

You may need to reduce the milk intake Kev, difficult I know but it is a bit high in fat content.

Well done getting to 102 Kg, I'm at a constant 105

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #116 on:** April 29, 2016, 07:53:57 PM »

Doc wanted me to drink lo-fat skim milk, but I reckon it tastes like licking kalsomine from a plaster wall.

Sicman · « **Reply #117 on:** April 29, 2016, 08:13:39 PM »

Its a worry you know that taste

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #118 on:** April 29, 2016, 08:22:29 PM »

Tastes worse than licking windows, Tony

Not the fat content you have to worry about, but the sugars. I've lost 5kg in the last 4 weeks on a low carb high fat diet. Feeling the best I have in years. No cravings for sweet foods and I have lots of energy. I even got over my change of season, cold induced chest infection much quicker than usual.

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #120 on:** June 17, 2016, 04:55:59 PM »

I have been at a constant 100 kg now for 3 weeks.

Gadget · « **Reply #121 on:** June 17, 2016, 05:17:09 PM »

Well done Kev.

I'm down from 116 to 114 this morning. Taken a week to get there.

I havent got scales with me but I believe that the camping, setting up, walking and travelling we are doing at present is helping me to lose weight. I will have to weight a while to find out.

I parked the bike outside a Gym today, was there for about 20 minutes?

Activities seen through the window failed to motivate me, so I returned home.
